## Customer Question: "I have your weigh distribution hitch, maybe I’m doing something wrong. Went to the cat scale and my front axle is way heavier then my rear is this normal? Steer axle 3320 rear axle 3060, trailer axle 6860 and total 13240."

In order to accurately determine the amount of weight that is distributed, it is important to have information about the weights of the steer and drive axles when there is no trailer attached, as well as the tongue weight. These weights help us assess how effectively the hitch distributes the load across the axles and ensure that it is properly adjusted and functioning optimally. If your front axle was heavier than your rear axle to begin with, then even after adjusting the weight distribution, we would still expect the front axle to be heavier. Understanding these factors enables drivers to make informed decisions about weight distribution and towing capacity, which ultimately enhances stability, control, and safety while towing.
